Whoopi Goldberg made a rare show of support for Donald Trump ahead of his presence at Game 3 of the NBA finals on Monday, reminding "The View" studio audience that the president is originally a New Yorker.
In fact, during that morning's "The View," Goldberg defended both President Trump and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's right to cheer on the Knicks as the New York team pursues its first NBA championship since 1973.
"I'm sorry, Trump and Mayor Mamdani are Knicks fans and have been. They're New Yorkers," Goldberg said in defense of the politicians. "There's nothing either one of them can do to change what's happening in this city for this team."
As one of Goldberg's co-hosts accused her of potentially jinxing the Knicks with this comment, the Oscar winner pushed back, "I don't think anything can jinx anything."
"I think these guys are on a mission," Golderberg said of the Knicks players. "They're like the Blues Brothers, they're on a mission from God. And they have been winning and doing everything – and, you know, you could be buck naked up in the box and ain't **** ody paying attention."
